Hi Arun,
I do have a Windows partition, but I do not believe I had booted into that
partition just before the problem occurred, but I did boot into another
Ubuntu (8.10) partition. Though now I am purely speculating, since I cannot
recollect what could have messed up the name.
Thanks a lot for your help.
